QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) THE SYMBOLISM of purifi cation was assigned to incense in medieval times, when it was first generally blessed for use in divine worship. TODAY, ONLY ONE of these reasons remains para mount; incense is now used after the funeral Mass primari ly to demonstrate respect for the body which shared inti mately in the life of God him self, particularly by means of the Blessed Eucharist and the sacraments. Q. I have been reading a commentary on the work of Sigmund Freud. How is it that a man of so great an in tellect could have been so thoroughly in error from a philosophical viewpoint? A. Ignorance, probably. One of the most significant prob lems Freud never solved for himself was the relationship between faith and reason. In his eyes (as indeed in the eyes of many otherwise intellectual ly apt persons) faith implied denial of reason.

Could you please explain what I should do when one of my professors says something in class that is against our re ligion? Bill You can always challenge a college professor’s statement. But be careful to do it polite ly. If some statement sounds strange and you think the class may be misled, politely in quire if such a statement is the professor’s opinion or if it is factual. If factual, request the reference. But refrain from any debate on the matter. Most professors are scholars with 5 scholar’s respect for the truth. And in addition, the professional chair has ways of appearing su- “Faith, Reason and Modern Psychiatry: "IN THIS RESPECT, one may frankly consider Freud ig norant despite his enormous erudition and cultural sagacity. This was Freud’s blind spot, as it is the blind spot of many scientists: in conformity with the scientific tradition of his age, Freud equated faith with the rejection of reason. One wonders how surprised Freud would have been if he had learned of the place St. Tho mas Aquinas assigns to reason, to intelligence (Freud’s Logos) in his theology. How much more surprised Freud would have been if he had learned that Thomas Aquinas was op posed to that knowledge of God which was based on au thorities only, and if he had learned how much the deep mysticism and contemplative functioning of the mystics such as the Carmelites (according to one of the greatest of them, St. John of the Cross) had to be based on reason, intellect, and rational knowledge.” THIS POINT underscores one of the most frequent trage dies in the lives of geniuses and near-geniuses; namely that they remain at the intel lectual level of school children in other equally (and off times more important) fields. Too pride prejudices their curiosi ty, so that they erroneously think they possess a knowl edge they actually do not possess. perior. Join the college Newman Club, Bill, and use it. Besides social functions it offers addi tional help and support in lec tures and study groups. Here you can discuss such problems with the chaplain and other Catholic students. “The best place for the Cath olic student ordinarily is the Catholic college; the best place for the Catholic student on a non-Catholic campus is the Newman Club.” DULL FRIENDS Dear Doris: I’m a junior in high school. I have some friends about whom I need some advice. Ev ery time I invite them to my home the boys and girls go off in pairs and act as if no one else is there. I try to stimulate activity by games, dancing and refreshments but they just don’t respond. Do you think I should drop these friends even though individually they are very nice? Connie Your friends sound dull. And they need a lesson in courtesy. A party means social entertain ment in groups — not pairs. It’s a chance to enjoy one an other’s company and have fun together. Parties play an im portant role in our lives. So do friends. Since you feel these friends “are nice” give them another chance. The next time plan something special in advance. A good party just doesn’t hap pen. And getting this group out of its social rut will test your ingenuity. Start with a novelty dance in which you choose or change partners. The Bunny Hop, The Stroll and The Paul Jones are a few. Keep the music lively. If you haven’t records borrow some. And get a book on party games in the library. Tell the girls you’re making special plans to “liven up” your next party and would like to know their favorite games. This may act as a hint that you would like them to take part. If these plans fail, Connie, and your next party falls into the same pattern take another look at these companions. You may v/ant to drop them. We’re social beings and need friends. We learn from our friends.

This con- gregation was founded in 1910 by Mother Marianne of Jesus, the former Marion Frances Gurney, for the religious instruction of public school children. Since the erection of the congrega tion, the Sisters have labored for 50 years in one of the most spiritually destitute districts of New York City, where they conducted Madonna Settle ment House and Day Care Center on Cherry Street. The years have brought blessings and expansion, and today the Sisters of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine labor in other parts of the archdiocese as well as in the diocese of Charleston, Saint Augustine and Manchester. The mother- house is at Nyack, N. Y. The Sisters of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine conduct the Horsecreek Valley Welfare Center in Langley, S. C. and the kindergarten and welfare center at St. Mary’s Church, Rock Hill. They also conduct the kindergartens at St. Mary’s Help of Christian Church in Aiken, S. C., and Our Lady of Peace, North Augusta, S. C. them. We imitate not only dress and manners but ideals and values. It’s smart to begin early in life to be careful of the friendships we make. You have doubted their be havior because it lacks respect and courtesy. Remember, “A man is known by the company he keeps.” This goes for girls, too. Choose Christ as your con stant companion. Be sure your other companions meet His standards too, and be assured of good companionship and good fun. NURSING CAREER Dear Doris: In your column about nurs ing you mentioned three dif ferent ways of becoming a nurse (RN). In your opinion which is the best and why? P. G. The one that suits you is best. This will depend on your qualifications, how much time and money you can afford, the schools available in your area and any long range plans you may have for a nursing career. The two year community or Junior college program which grants an associate degree, the three year hospital school and the four year college program all qualify you to take the state licensing exam for your RN. Discuss the three programs with the guidance counselor or teacher at your school. They know you and your high school record. They can con sult this plus any aptitude or achievement tests you may have taken. They are able to assist you to make a wise de cision as to choice of schoool.

News Service) SPOKANE, Wash. — A priest-authority on problems of teenagers said here that “if youth has any one. common denominator, it is complete re sentment of authority.” Father Richard Madden, O.C.D., spoke to 1,400 young sters at the Uth Northwest Regional Congress of the Con fraternity of Christian Doc trine, held in Gonzaga Univer sity auditorium. The Carmelite from Youngs town, Ohio, is a favorite among teenagers because he talks and writes their “lang uage.” His books —• the latest is “Father Madden’s Life of Christ” — are top sellers among adolescents. “We’ve left you a pretty lousy world,” Father Madden told the youngsters, “and we hope that you do a better job than we have done.” He suggested to the young sters: “Go home and sign a treaty with your parents •— brush up on the obedienece scene.” He acknowledged that some parents are bad exam ples, but added, “Don’t cease to love them because they are failures. Remember charity.” The popular Carmelite urg ed the teenagers to “measure up to, the challenge of today.” He said: “You got to be bigger, tougher, better and holier. You’ve got to help one another to be good. A girl should make every fellow she meets a little bit better and vice versa.” “The future depends on how big you meet it,” he added. “You’ve got to be 10 feet tall, so you can walk with the steps of a giant. The whole world is your business and you have a job to do. You should develop a knowledge of God, but see also that other persons are in formed.” In a question-and-answer session, Father Madden dis cussed kissing, going steady, vocations and faith. Some of his observations follow: —“If a kiss is wrong, the whole French army would go to pot.” But a kiss can’t be used to arouse the sex instinct in unmarried persons. —“Going steady is wrong. Go steady when you are ready to get married. Going steady now will mess up your social life. Maintain your freedom.” —Lipstick is a good idea, but “you know that the lipstick is to make older women look younger, not younger women look older.” —About smoking: “When a guy kisses a girl who smokes, the fellow feels as if he’s put ting his head into a coke oven. I smoke, but it’s silly. It’s no sin unless it’s one of disobedi ence.” —“We all have temptations against our Faith. This is be cause our minds are not big enough to grasp this great mystery.” Father Madden also said: “This is the age of the baby sitter and that’s bad. If parents could learn to say ‘no’ it would help. Kids want to be told ‘no.’ But parents seem to feel they can’t cope with the constant battle . They say, ‘What’s the, use?’ and there’s the hole, in the line. And Catholic par? enfs are just as guilty as any others.” * ; - Phone PA. 2-2681 P. O. Box 286 STANDARD BAG COMPANY, Inc.
